Coreshield 11-Ni3 is an all-position self-shielded wire designed to produce weld metal with good toughness (minimum 20 ft-lbs at 0°F).
Coreshield 11-Ni3 is an all-position self-shielded wire designed to produce weld metal with good toughness (minimum 20 ft-lbs at 0°F). In addition, Coreshield 11-Ni3 provides the good weldability of Coreshield 11. It features a smooth arc, low spatter, full slag coverage, and easy slag removal.
Coreshield 11-Ni3 is ideal for field welding of structural steel where impact toughness is specified. It can be used for single or multipass welding. Coreshield 11 is run DCEN.
